1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 1>And now your host of Dodger Talk, David Vasse.

2
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 2>We are live in Philadelphia where the Dodgers are handed

3
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>their first loss.

4
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Of the season.

5
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>The Phillies defeat the Dodgers three to two in Game

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 2>one of this three game series.

7
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Welcome the Dodger Talk, David Vase.

8
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Say with you until eight o'clock tonight, taking your phone

9
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 2>calls at eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy.

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear from Dave Roberts on the decision to place

11
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman on the injured list. Freddie is not even

12
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>here in Philadelphia and will not be on this road trip.

13
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear from Bryce Harper. He held a press conference

14
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>with the Philadelphia media before the game, and one of

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 2>the questions or topics were the Dodgers. And you'll hear

16
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Harper defend the Dodgers and what they did during

17
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>this past offseason to make their World chiechampionship team even better.

18
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of the Dodgers and how dominant they've been so far,

19
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear from Brett Boone, who was on with Petro

20
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Some Money earlier this week. Boone was part of the

21
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>one Mariners that won one hundred and sixteen games, a

22
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>major league record, and Mookie Betts will have the last

23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 2>word on the show tonight, so you'll we'll get to

24
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>all of that, but let's talk about this game. And

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm a firm believer in this, especially after what we

26
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>saw in at Dodger Stadium in that final game of

27
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the homestand the Dodgers played the worst game I have

28
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>seen them play in quite some time the other night

29
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium on Wednesday night. But we're fortunate to

30
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>out talent the Braves and come back and walk it

31
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>off thanks to Max Munsey and show Hey Otani.

32
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 3>But Mounsey had two bad errors there.

33
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell let the umpire strike zone fluster him, got

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>out of his game, and it was just an ugly

35
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 2>game all around. And tonight the Dodgers beat themselves.

36
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 3>In a lot of ways.

37
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>They let the Phillies off the hook in three different innings,

38
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>including the ninth inning to end the game when Chris

39
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Taylor was tagged out.

40
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 3>It was a great tag and a great throw from JT.

41
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Realmudo to Trey Turner on the strike him out, throw

42
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 2>him out to end the game. But as Rick Monday

43
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>was saying, you've got to be one hundred percent sure

44
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>that you're going to be safe in that situation. You

45
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>got Jordan Romano on the ropes. Tommy Edmond just shook

46
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>this place and silenced the sellout crowd with a two

47
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>run home run to make it a three to two game,

48
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>and that would be the final score. But Romano, if

49
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>you ever followed his career, if you play fantasy baseball,

50
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you realize that by no means is he

51
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>a dominant closer. And the Dodgers had him on the ropes.

52
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>They let him off the hook. As Dennis Green would say,

53
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>we let him off the hook. That's what the Dodgers did.

54
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>They let Romano and the Phillies off the hook in

55
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning. They let the Phillies off the hook

56
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning as well. You had runners at

57
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>first and third. You had Miguel Rojas at third base

58
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 2>after his.

59
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Second hit of the season.

60
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Rojas is now two for eighteen if you're keeping score

61
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>at home. But he had a single, a one out

62
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 2>single that started what we thought was a rally for

63
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. Then O'tani singled him to third base, so

64
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>runners at the corners, which with two outs because Pajes

65
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>was struck out looking and you had Mookie Betts at

66
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>the plate, and Mooki Betts is swinging the bat really well,

67
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>he's seeing the baseball really well, and you want to

68
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>get Mooki Betts a chance to possibly tie the game

69
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>with one swing of the bat, and O'tani takes off

70
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>for second base, down three runs. At that point, the

71
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers were losing three to nothing, and you're gonna make

72
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 2>the last out trying to steal second base. That's not

73
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>five Beta Kappa. I don't know what was going on

74
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>in Otani's mind. There was no need to try to

75
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>steal second base right there, with two outs and down

76
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>three runs.

77
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 3>Just inexcusable right there.

78
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>And then in the sixth inning, the Dodgers made another

79
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 2>base running error that cost them the inning, this time

80
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 2>with Otani at the plate right because Andy Pajez was

81
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>thrown out trying to go first move on Jesu's Lozardo.

82
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Lozardo's cruising, and you finally get on base with a walk,

83
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>and you let him have a very easy inning because

84
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>he got you trying to steal second base on the

85
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 2>first move.

86
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't even.

87
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Close and then he hesitated. It's one thing, if you're

88
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna steal, you better go. You don't hesitate on first move.

89
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>And so that ran the Dodgers out of the sixth inning.

90
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 2>So they ran themselves out of three different innings laid

91
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>in the game. And to me, that's that's the game.

92
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers beat themselves tonight. Even though Lozardo was pitching great,

93
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>they still had had an opportunity to win this game.

94
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Now here's another factor in the game tonight, and I'm

95
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>not sure how often it was brought up, but Taoscar

96
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez and Shohyotani lost what would have been home runs

97
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>thanks to the win blowing in at that point in

98
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>time in the game. Early on, Otani in the third

99
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 2>inning hit a rocket that was over one hundred miles

100
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>an hour.

101
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 3>But it was to that cookie cutter.

102
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Cutout to the deepest part of the ballpark, and the

103
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>wind was blowing in and cut it down. It was

104
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>a fly ball right on the edge of the warning track.

105
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>And then in the fourth inning, Taoscar Hernandez hit a

106
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 2>long fly ball to left field, but it was so

107
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>high up the wind cut it down as well. So

108
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>anything hit to excuse me, left field or center field tonight,

109
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 2>it was not going anywhere. Tommy Edmund's home run in

110
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning went to right field, and by that

111
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>time the win had kind of died down. And right

112
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 2>now the flags are not blowing at all, even though

113
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 2>they have the tarp on the field in anticipation of

114
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>rain coming overnight. But that was a factor early on

115
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>in the game, or maybe this is a different game.

116
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 2>And speaking of mistakes, yama Moto was kicking himself when

117
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>he threw the ball away in the first inning, and

118
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Trey Turner's speed affected the game in the first inning

119
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 2>when he took off for third base, because the mistake

120
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 2>was physical throwing the ball away. But the mental error

121
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 2>is what cost yama Moto. He was so focused on

122
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Harper he never looked at Trey Turner at second base,

123
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 2>and that's why Turner took off and caught him off guard.

124
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>So a mental and physical mistakes cost the Dodgers tonight

125
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and they fall to the Phillies three to two, eight

126
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the

127
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.120
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Let's go out to the phones. We have

128
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>three lines open. Paul, who was at at the game

129
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>tonight in Philly.

130
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Are you on?

131
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Are you in Philly, Paul? Were you at the game?

132
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I am. I live in New Jersey. I'm home now,

133
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 5>but I was at the game. I'm a Dodger fan.

134
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 5>I've been a Dodgers fansins nineteen forty nine. David, and wow,

135
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 5>that's awesome. I just want to let you know that

136
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 5>you are my connection to the Dodgers. Without you, I

137
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't know anything what's going on. So I want to

138
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 5>thank you for your efforts. It's fabulous. Again, I agree

139
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 5>with you.

140
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>You really really good after you being a lifelong Dodger

141
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>fan since nineteen forty nine, that's really special. Do you

142
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 2>remember the fifty five Dodgers starting ten and oh that

143
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>year of.

144
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 5>Course, and Roy Campanellan Peey Reese and you name it. Yeah,

145
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 5>Goodrik at that team. Yeah again, they played poor baseball tonight.

146
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 5>I was very disappointed by how poorly they played. That's

147
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 5>a win game for them, and they just they didn't

148
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 5>want to win the game. They said, I was going to.

149
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 6>That.

150
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they beat themselves. I'm sorry if drove from Jersey

151
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>to here. Do you come to a lot of games

152
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 2>in Philadelphia when the Dodgers are playing out here.

153
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I go see the Dodgers every time they're in town.

154
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 5>It's a funny state to be at. It really is. Yeah,

155
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 5>excitement at the Philly State. Yeah yeah, forty five thousand fans.

156
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 5>How do you beat that right now?

157
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 2>And I would say that they they they're a little

158
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>less polite than the fans in Tokyo, how about that.

159
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 2>But but in a sports edgy kind away.

160
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but it was fun win lo was a jar.

161
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 5>I love baseball. So all right, David, thank you again

162
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.399
<v Speaker 5>for being my link. You're the link brother oh man.

163
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Then I am humbled and honored. Thank you, Paul. Appreciate

164
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. Call back anytime, and hopefully come out

165
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to another game before the Dodgers leave town. Tonight, they

166
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>lose three to two for the first time this season.

167
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Poor Paul, a Dodger fan since nineteen forty nine. I

168
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 2>guess the bride's grooms followed the Dodgers from Jersey to

169
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Philly with him. Tonight, he sees the Dodgers fall for

170
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the first time this season. But look, it's gonna be

171
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 2>an amazing year. The Dodgers are going to get the

172
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>best shot from every team and you know, they always

173
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>say styles make fights, and the Dodgers don't match up

174
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>that great against Philadelphia. They're one of the few teams

175
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 2>that has the talent to match the Dodgers, whether it's

176
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 2>their strunting staff or their offense. And I would still

177
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>say pound the Dodger offense one through nine is much

178
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 2>better than the Phillies. But the Phillies pitch better and

179
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>they didn't make mistakes. The Dodgers made a lot of

180
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 2>mistakes tonight and they fall for the fifth straight time

181
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>here in Philadelphia. Let's go out to Corona. Ronnie, you're

182
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk Live from Philly. How you doing, Ronnie?

183
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Hey DV?

184
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 7>How you doing, Bud?

185
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing good. I love coming out to Philly.

186
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, Ronnie, fans ask me all the time, what

187
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>is your favorite ballpark?

188
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 3>Where should we come see the Dodgers.

189
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I would strongly recommend uh coming out to Philadelphia to

190
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>see the Dodgers play here.

191
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 3>It's a great atmosphere.

192
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 8>Definitely, I agree with you. And also they got to

193
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 8>get one of those Philly chief states right.

194
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, for sure, and they got one out here

195
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.039
<v Speaker 2>in center field. Tony Luke's not a bad alternative if

196
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 2>you can't make it to Geno's or Pats exactly.

197
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 8>Hey, DV so real quick, I was gonna just kind

198
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 8>of talk about Munsie struggles. I know he's having trouble

199
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.600
<v Speaker 8>at the play right now. I don't know if that

200
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 8>was the right call to bring him in. And the

201
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 8>last thing I know that Arnato wanted to come to LA. He's,

202
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 8>you know, a so call guy. Right now, he's batting

203
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 8>three ninety one and fall defense and Monthy's had his

204
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 8>struggles with defense and hitting right now. Obviously he tried

205
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 8>the the torpedo bat. It didn't work. The regular beats

206
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.879
<v Speaker 8>not working. I don't know, Maybe we can get him

207
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 8>a tennis record or something, right.

208
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Ronnie, did you miss Wednesday night's game where Max Munsey

209
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 2>tied the game with a two run double to set

210
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 2>up Otawi's heroics. Are we really jumping off the Mounsie

211
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 2>bandwagon that quickly?

212
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

213
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 8>I just you know, I do like him, But at

214
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 8>the same time, it just it seems like it happens

215
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 8>all the time.

216
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 3>What happens all the time.

217
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.759
<v Speaker 8>More often that he's struggling than than good.

218
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's what happens in baseball.

219
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 2>You're you're going to fail seven out of ten times

220
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>if you're really good. And you know I'll say this,

221
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Ronnie Muncie serves a purpose. I have said this, and

222
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>that's why I believe the Dodgers value Max Muncy a

223
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 2>lot of times. It's not going to be pretty offensively.

224
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>He is a three true outcome player, but he's one

225
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 2>of those players where the part the sum is greater

226
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>than the parts, meaning he has a function in the

227
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>lineup to face right handed pitching, to see a lot

228
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>of pitches, to make opposing pitchers work, and to draw

229
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 2>a lock, and to be a threat to hit a

230
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>home run.

231
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 3>In this lineup.

232
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers need that, especially when you have a lot

233
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 2>of guys like Otani and Betts and Freddie and Taoskar

234
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>they swing a lot.

235
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 3>You need a guy that takes some pitches.

236
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.559
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not jumping off the Max Munsey bandwagon just yet.

237
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 9>I see what you're saying, And you know what, I

238
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 9>really enjoy watching the team right now. It really feels like,

239
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 9>as a fan, like no deficit, we can't come back

240
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 9>at any point. They can kid five ten runs in

241
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 9>any and.

242
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.000
<v Speaker 8>I'm really enjoying the season. So far so I love

243
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 8>it all.

244
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, Ronnie, thank you for the phone call.

245
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>You know it's funny Ronnie's calling and basically slamming Max

246
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Munsey for striking out for the second out of the

247
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning. But next monthly didn't start. He came off

248
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>the bench tonight to face a struggling right handed relief

249
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>pitcher in Jordan Romano, and he didn't come through.

250
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Off the bench. He's a starter.

251
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot harder for guys to come off the

252
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>bench when they're used to getting four at bats. I'm

253
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>not making excuses, but of all nights, tonight's not the

254
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>night to slam Max Munsey. It was. It wasn't on him.

255
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have blood on his hands for this loss.

256
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Teluca Lake. Dave, You're on Dodger Talk.

257
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Dave.

258
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Dave good to jump in for the first time

259
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 7>this year.

260
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 5>First time of many.

261
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 7>I really appreciate your critical analysis. I'm in the same boat.

262
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 7>I think that the Dodgers may be guilty of taking

263
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 7>her foot out the gap, drinking their own kool aid

264
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 7>or whatever. And the reality is, and I've been saying

265
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 7>it to all my friends that are calling me talking

266
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.600
<v Speaker 7>about the Dodgers. I don't think we I mean, what

267
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 7>have we done. We haven't beat any good teams. I

268
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:16.120
<v Speaker 7>mean the Cubs, the Tigers, the Braves. I mean, Philly's

269
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 7>a legit team. You got to play mistake free. We

270
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 7>didn't do that and they took advantage of it. Now,

271
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 7>I know they're gonna come back this weekend with you know,

272
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 7>with a mission for sure, but it's just like they

273
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 7>need to get back to fundamental grind it out baseball,

274
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 7>take pitches, swing at good pitches, play tight defense, and

275
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.960
<v Speaker 7>everybody plays together like they're on a string. So again,

276
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 7>I appreciate your critical nois thank.

277
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 2>You, Okay, no problem. I appreciate the compliment, but I

278
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>will fact check you. Look, here's the trap that all

279
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.320
<v Speaker 2>of us are going to get into. And I'm guilty

280
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 2>of it to a certain extent as well, because I

281
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>was talking about it before the game that I will

282
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>wasn't impressed with the Tigers or the Cubs. I was

283
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>a little impressed with the Tigers. They fought the Dodgers

284
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 2>tooth and nail, but they got swept. And this is

285
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 2>the trap that I'm going to warn all of us

286
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.759
<v Speaker 2>whenever a team plays the Dodgers, they're not going to

287
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 2>look that great, right, or you might not be impressed

288
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.720
<v Speaker 2>with that team because the Dodgers are that good.

289
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 3>Case in point, the Tigers.

290
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people talk to their coaching

291
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>staff and their players towards the end of that series

292
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium, and they felt like they played well

293
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>enough to be twenty five other teams out there. But

294
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.159
<v Speaker 2>they got swept by the Dodgers. And since getting swept

295
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 2>by the Dodgers, they're three and one. So the Tigers

296
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 2>are a playoff team. In my opinion, I have them

297
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 2>making the playoffs. The Cubs got swept by the Dodgers

298
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>in Tokyo, Japan, of all places. They beat the Padres

299
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and handed the Padres their first loss earlier today, and

300
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the Cubs are six and four, so they lost the

301
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 2>first two games to the Dodgers. But you know they're

302
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:10.399
<v Speaker 2>a team that's going to be in it for the

303
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>n L Central. So that's my point. The Dodgers are

304
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>really good, but you're going to get into the trap

305
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and say, you know what, I'm not impressed by this team.

306
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 2>That team they're not good. Well, the Tigers and Cubs

307
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 2>are going to be playoff teams or fight for a

308
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>playoff spot. There's no doubt about that, and so are

309
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>the Braves. The Braves are not firing on all cylinders

310
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 2>without Ronald Acuna Junior, of course, So I just think

311
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 2>we all have to remind ourselves of that. But the

312
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 2>teams the Dodgers have played are not as talented as

313
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies. So I understood what Dave was saying right there.

314
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

315
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. And like I said, styles make fights.

316
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Not only have the Dodgers lost five in a row

317
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>in this ballpark in Philadelphia, but they have lost eight

318
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>of the last to the Phillies overall, going back to

319
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three eight six six two five seventy. We

320
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 2>have two lines open. Let's go out to all hambra. Javier,

321
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Javier?

322
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 10>Hey, pretty good, Dave, thanks for taking my call, my

323
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.319
<v Speaker 10>pleasure man. We're eating real good right undefeated, And going

324
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 10>back to last game, Paz has that base running blender

325
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 10>where he's gets caught leading on that and ends up

326
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.160
<v Speaker 10>going into a double play, and then he's killing me

327
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 10>today with that other base running blender where he hesitated.

328
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 5>And I was just like, man, we.

329
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.599
<v Speaker 9>Just we have to stay sharp, just like the days

330
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 9>has to.

331
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Play better Javier.

332
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's been given the center field job, but

333
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:47.480
<v Speaker 2>he's got to play better.

334
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 3>He has not looked great out there defensively.

335
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 2>He had a costly drop on Wednesday night, part of

336
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 2>three eras at Dodger Stadium. He's made I can already

337
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 2>count three bad base running plays and it's barrel. It's

338
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.119
<v Speaker 2>not even the tenth game of the season and he's

339
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 2>not hitting that great, you know, as the ninth hitter,

340
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>that's an important spot in the order to turn the

341
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>lineup over for show Aotani. Andy Paz to start the

342
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>season is hitting a buck eleven. He's hitting a buck eleven.

343
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>He's two, He's three for twenty seven. He's got to

344
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>start playing better because there's a guy by the name

345
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 2>of Hayesan Kim that is starting to master his new

346
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>swing and playing great defense in Oklahoma City. So he

347
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.079
<v Speaker 2>better start playing better or the Dodgers have got to

348
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>make a decision on whether or not Hayesan Kim is

349
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:41.440
<v Speaker 2>a better alternative to Paz, to Rojas or to Chris Taylor.

350
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.599
<v Speaker 2>So those three guys they better start picking it up

351
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers have a lot of good players in

352
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Triple A.

353
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, thanks for the phone call. I was

354
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:54.319
<v Speaker 3>done there.

355
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 2>That's where you agree or disagree right there, Javier eight

356
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.640
<v Speaker 2>six six nine, seven seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

357
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 2>fall to the Phillies three to two, and they did

358
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 2>it without Freddie Freeman for the third straight game, remember,

359
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 2>or fourth straight game remember before the Brave series. Freddy

360
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 2>on the off day Sunday afternoon, fell in his shower

361
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 2>and reaggravated that surgically repaired right ankle, and he was

362
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.519
<v Speaker 2>looking good, he was feeling good. He was trying to

363
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:31.200
<v Speaker 2>convince himself and the Dodgers that he would be able

364
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 2>to be back in the lineup tonight here in Philadelphia. Well,

365
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Freddy didn't even travel with the team because they decided

366
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 2>to place him on the ten day il with that

367
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>right ankle injury. And the Dodgers believe that they need

368
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.559
<v Speaker 2>to nip this in the bud right now and not

369
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.000
<v Speaker 2>allow Freddy to try to play on it because that

370
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 2>would make it linger all season long. And I fully

371
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.279
<v Speaker 2>agree with the Dodgers' decision. There's no reason for Freddie

372
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Freeman to be playing on that be at right ankle

373
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.119
<v Speaker 2>until it's well enough for him to play and be

374
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 2>ready for the Dodgers when it matters. The most here

375
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.640
<v Speaker 2>was manager Dave Roberts before the game, when I asked

376
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.640
<v Speaker 2>him about the process to decide to put Freddy on

377
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the IL.

378
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 6>He could have played, but we just felt that, even

379
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 6>in talking to Freddy the trending staff, there was potential

380
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 6>downside if we played them to make it worse. And

381
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:33.519
<v Speaker 6>given the time of year, the off days that we had,

382
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 6>we built in some days that he'd missed off day

383
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:39.599
<v Speaker 6>coming up just made sent for him to stay back,

384
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.400
<v Speaker 6>not travel, fly increased swelling, and then be ready to

385
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.359
<v Speaker 6>go hopefully when we get home for the Homestand.

386
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I know you're always thinking big picture, but how much

387
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.160
<v Speaker 2>of the luxury of having an aid and no start

388
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.039
<v Speaker 2>and as many good players as you have factored into

389
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 2>being able to absorb a loss of a player like him.

390
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 6>I think the having the depth certainly allowed us to

391
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 6>absorb it, but I still believe that that's a separate

392
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.799
<v Speaker 6>decision which what is best for Freddie And given him

393
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 6>more time putting on the IL made the most sense,

394
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 6>and he wasn't too thrilled about it, as we would

395
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.680
<v Speaker 6>all expect, but understood it. You know, I think that

396
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 6>if we wouldn't have done anything, I think it could

397
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 6>have lingered all year. And not to say that we

398
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:31.880
<v Speaker 6>expect it to be one hundred percent when he comes off,

399
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 6>but I just think that it's something that we give

400
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:41.519
<v Speaker 6>it a chance to kind of maintain versus continually go

401
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.079
<v Speaker 6>backward as the season progressed, and that's something we just

402
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:46.680
<v Speaker 6>didn't want him to fight all year long.

403
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:50.599
<v Speaker 2>All Right, that was a great explanation by Dave robertson.

404
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I fully agree. I know Freddie wants to play as

405
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 2>many games as possible.

406
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 3>He really does want to be out there.

407
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 2>And like Dave roberts said, he could have played tonight,

408
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 2>but at what cost, the cost of him limping around

409
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and managing that right ankle at a more severe level

410
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:15.319
<v Speaker 2>than he probably needs to. Right decision, don't let Freddy

411
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 2>play until that right ankle is as good as it's

412
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 2>going to get for the rest of the season. Eight six, six, nine, seven,

413
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Hey, before we

414
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.759
<v Speaker 2>take a time out here, I do want to get

415
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 2>back to your calls, But I do want to point

416
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:33.480
<v Speaker 2>out that Mookie Bets played his best game of the

417
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 2>season defensively at shortstop, and I'm going to make it

418
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a point to point this out when he does, because

419
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 2>we always point out when he doesn't play well. There

420
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I thought tonight he turned two really good double plays.

421
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Tonight.

422
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.039
<v Speaker 2>He turned a double play in the fourth inning to

423
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 2>end the inning, and he also turned a double play

424
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>on Bryce Harper's ground ball for the second and third out.

425
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me second and yeah, well, the first two outs

426
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>of the sixth inning on Bryce Harper. He looked really

427
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:09.039
<v Speaker 2>athletic around the bag and he wasn't thinking making those plays.

428
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>So Mookie Betts looked his best tonight defensively at shortstop.

429
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

430
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.519
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. When we continue from Citizens Bank Park

431
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.920
<v Speaker 2>in Philadelphia. You'll hear from Bryce Harper as he was

432
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.440
<v Speaker 2>asked what he thought about the Dodgers Juggernaut roster, and

433
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll also hear from Brett Boone, who joined Petro some money,

434
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.599
<v Speaker 2>and his thoughts on the Dodgers' chances of breaking his

435
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Mariners win record of one hundred and sixteen wins back

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edmund five home runs this season. Aaron Judge has

453
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.759
<v Speaker 2>six to lead Major League Baseball. Tommy Edmund that close

454
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>from being the major League leader in home runs hit

455
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 2>so far this season. He made this game close in

456
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning and made the sellout crowd of forty

457
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>three thousand plus absolutely nervous that the Dodgers were going

458
00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:59.799
<v Speaker 2>to come back again.

459
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:00.519
<v Speaker 3>This year.

460
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 2>They have six comeback wins, the most in baseball. They

461
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 2>were this close, one run away from making it a seventh,

462
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 2>but they do come up a bucks short tonight to

463
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies three to two and lose their first game

<v Speaker 2>the phone number you know.

472
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Tonight's game was televised on.

473
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Apple TV, and I'm not sure if any of you

474
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:46.480
<v Speaker 2>have seen the World series documentary on Apple TV. I

475
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>watched it. It's like a three parter. Let me just

476
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:54.279
<v Speaker 2>put this. I'll take you behind the curtain. I heard

477
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I was in this Apple docu series for a split second,

478
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, when they showed me miked up in the

479
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>press box when Jack Flaherty was not pitching well, and

480
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 2>they have me miked up, and I was fully aware.

481
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I was miked up.

482
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I was brutally honest when I said,

483
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>and they showed it, this guy doesn't have it tonight.

484
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 2>That was my only line in the Dodgers World Championship

485
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 2>docu series. I've traveled with the team in every city

486
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 2>all last year. They miked me up before Game five

487
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 2>and during Game five all day and that's all they used.

488
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Come on, Apple, that's all you use for me saying

489
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 2>this guy doesn't have it. You mike me up all

490
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 2>day and then you wasted thirty minutes of my day

491
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.480
<v Speaker 2>before the World Series started to interview me to see

492
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 2>whether or not you even wanted to use me. You

493
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:58.160
<v Speaker 2>said you would, and then you never followed up. I mean,

494
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I just had to get that off my chest because

495
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.599
<v Speaker 2>a couple of players, see, that's the beauty of me.

496
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I could say things, but I have to be here

497
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 3>to face the music.

498
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 11>And uh.

499
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.759
<v Speaker 2>One of the players saw the docuseries and said, oh,

500
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I saw I saw you in it saying that Flerty

501
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>didn't have it. I said, yeah, he didn't have it.

502
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I was right, he didn't have it. But we need

503
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller to come in to close the game. Yeah,

504
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flerty didn't have it. I didn't say anything that

505
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't untrue. But come on, Ron Howard and whoever else

506
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>was involved. That's all you got for me after micing

507
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.880
<v Speaker 2>me up all day. Come on eight six six nine,

508
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's

509
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 2>go out to La Puente. No, you're on Dodger Talk.

510
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:47.839
<v Speaker 2>How could Apple do me dirty like that?

511
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Huh uh?

512
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:50.400
<v Speaker 7>Those down?

513
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:52.839
<v Speaker 12>He comes down to Apple TV for doing a Dave

514
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 12>Bess dirty.

515
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:54.880
<v Speaker 8>Come on, man, we need to see him on the

516
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:58.319
<v Speaker 8>camera a lot more. Man, his his beautiful face. What's up?

517
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say that, but geez, you mike me up

518
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and you interviewed me, and that's all you used.

519
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:05.799
<v Speaker 10>They did did?

520
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 8>They did the dirty Dave all good though? You know

521
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 8>what Dave today's game.

522
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 7>I'm let's not lose sight.

523
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 12>Also, let's not lose sight of the fact that Kirby Yates, man,

524
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.440
<v Speaker 12>he was very disappointed today. Also man, the fact that

525
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 12>I wasn't too mad that the Dodgers were a little

526
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.720
<v Speaker 12>bit more aggressive on the basis than usually. And one

527
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 12>of those calls, you know, the last call is it

528
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 12>stands and it's safe. It puts the runner in scoring position, Dave.

529
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 12>I wasn't too mad at the Dodgers being aggressive, though

530
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:36.440
<v Speaker 12>I want you don't.

531
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.759
<v Speaker 2>You don't make the last out on the basis, and

532
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.400
<v Speaker 2>you certainly don't make the last out to lose the game.

533
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Though it's not it's Chris Taylor, it's not, you know,

534
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the fastest guy on the team.

535
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 3>He's a really good base runner. And it was close.

536
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:57.559
<v Speaker 2>It was bang bang, but you got to be sure

537
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.319
<v Speaker 2>that you're going to be safe in that situation. Thanks

538
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.200
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call, appreciate it. Eight six six seven

539
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.319
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

540
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to Joshua in Riverside. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Joshua,

541
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey DV.

542
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 13>How you doing.

543
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 10>Well?

544
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I was doing good.

545
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Until I you know, I got upset again thinking about

546
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>how Apple did me dirty.

547
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:22.640
<v Speaker 13>You know, I watched it. I didn't mind it. I

548
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 13>heard your line and I agreed with you, he didn't

549
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.200
<v Speaker 13>have it in that game.

550
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 11>I was right.

551
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 13>Luckily Walker closed out the game like you said. But

552
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:38.039
<v Speaker 13>just going back on.

553
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, what'd you think about that? What did you think

554
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>about the docu series? I thought it was okay, but

555
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the new season has started, and I

556
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 2>don't think you're as excited as you would have been

557
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 2>to see it maybe back in December.

558
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:58.319
<v Speaker 13>Of course, though, But anything to help you relive those games,

559
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:00.640
<v Speaker 13>I think it's a blessing. Those games are one of

560
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 13>the best times in my life. Me and my fiance

561
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 13>actually went to the first World Series game to watch

562
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 13>Cherdy Freeman's walkoff Grand Slam. That was the best Dodger

563
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 13>game I've ever been to, and I'm looking forward to

564
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.400
<v Speaker 13>going to more games this year watching the Dodgers repeat.

565
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, Joshua, thank you for the phone call, and yeah,

566
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.039
<v Speaker 2>it brings back great memories. You can never get tired

567
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.559
<v Speaker 2>of that. And I thought it was awesome the access

568
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman allowed them to be able to follow him

569
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 2>around even before they knew he was going to be

570
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the World Series MVP and hit that dramatic grand Slam

571
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 2>to win Game one for the Dodgers. So yeah, to me,

572
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 2>that was the best part of the whole documentary to

573
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.279
<v Speaker 2>have that type of access with Freddie Freeman. Eight six

574
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

575
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of access, Bryce Harper is very accessible and I

576
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.480
<v Speaker 2>think he's a great ambassador for the game. He's got

577
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of style. He wants to promote the game

578
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.759
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of good ways. And today he held

579
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:01.119
<v Speaker 2>court with the Philadelphia media and he actually came to

580
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers defense when so many haters out there are

581
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.960
<v Speaker 2>so jealous of what the Dodgers have done. Yeah, I

582
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:10.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know, Okay will like this, but I feel like

583
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.519
<v Speaker 2>only losers complain about what they're doing.

584
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:15.720
<v Speaker 7>But you know, I think they're.

585
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 4>A great team.

586
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They're a great organization.

587
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 3>That's why guys want to go there and play.

588
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 11>LA is a great playing obviously.

589
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 14>It's uh, you know, they're at the mecca kind of

590
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 14>the world of everything, right from.

591
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Food to nightlife to the sports, from the Dodgers to

592
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:32.359
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers.

593
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:35.880
<v Speaker 3>To meet with himself, you know, I mean, they're they're

594
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:37.559
<v Speaker 3>going to continue to get guys. They're going to continue

595
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 3>to pull guys from you.

596
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, the sports bullpen, starting pitching international players or anything

597
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>like that.

598
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:46.880
<v Speaker 11>They're going with the Dodgers.

599
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Harper is a l a guy at heart. You know,

600
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>he grew up in Vegas. He would come to LA

601
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:58.079
<v Speaker 2>to play travel ball games. But you know, you know,

602
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:01.559
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to be a Dodger. He Act almost signed

603
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers when he was a free agent the

604
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 2>last time. Prior to the Phillies handing him a long term,

605
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 2>big contract, he was considering a short term contract from

606
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers before the eighteen season, and I thought, you know,

607
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>he would have been a great fit with the Dodgers

608
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.079
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles.

609
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.240
<v Speaker 3>He's made for LA and I love.

610
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:27.240
<v Speaker 2>How he's become a Philly guy and really become part

611
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of the fabric of this city. He's really taken on

612
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the identity of this city. So it's worked out perfectly

613
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>for him and for the Dodgers. And shout out to

614
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Pepe in All Hambra. You know, when he's talking about

615
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:41.440
<v Speaker 2>LA being a great food town, he's thinking about his

616
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 2>spot in All Hambra. Pepe, So be on the lookout

617
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 2>for Bryce Harper when the Phillies come back to LA

618
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.799
<v Speaker 2>this season. Let's go out to Fullerton. Artie, you're on

619
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk Live from Philadelphia. How you doing, Artie.

620
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.480
<v Speaker 11>I'm doing well, my friend. You know, I sat in

621
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 11>the bleach Is when they were two dollars a ticket,

622
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.440
<v Speaker 11>so I've been around a while and I just tind

623
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.640
<v Speaker 11>to share with you that if we could back up

624
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.599
<v Speaker 11>the game clock about nine games and interview some of

625
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 11>these negative nellies putting down you know, I think O'tani

626
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 11>was safe a second. I think Chris Taylor was safe

627
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:26.039
<v Speaker 11>a second. But we didn't even try to overrule the

628
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 11>call with Otani. I think was a mistake. But if

629
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:33.559
<v Speaker 11>we just said to the Dodger fans, hey, look, you know,

630
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 11>after bringing home the World Series trophy, we could start

631
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.039
<v Speaker 11>out the season eight. Oh how do you feel about that?

632
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.200
<v Speaker 11>People would say, well, that's not possible. But the reality

633
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.759
<v Speaker 11>is that this is a hard working, charmed baseball club

634
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.920
<v Speaker 11>and to see these guys take a chance is it's

635
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 11>remarkable because they're not worried about how they look. They're

636
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 11>just trying to win ball games. And yeah, we're short

637
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 11>Freddy and we have a few other things going on,

638
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 11>but this is a remarkable baseball team. They came out

639
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 11>the first, no doubt.

640
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Alredy, I think the Dodgers have spoiled their fans, including you,

641
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, especially to start the year eight to

642
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.119
<v Speaker 2>zero as a defending world champion, that's the best start

643
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.760
<v Speaker 2>for defending world champion. The following season, I think we

644
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.639
<v Speaker 2>all got spoiled. And you know, even before the season started,

645
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for the phone call. People were talking

646
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.679
<v Speaker 2>about the Dodgers breaking the Mariners regular season wins record

647
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:39.000
<v Speaker 2>of one hundred and sixteen wins back in oh one.

648
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:41.679
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't matter to the Dodgers.

649
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>It may matter to all of us that talk about it,

650
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and you know, our fans of the game, But I

651
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 2>can guarantee you winning one hundred and seventeen games this

652
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:56.480
<v Speaker 2>year is pretty low on the priority list for Andrew Friedman,

653
00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Show and everybody

654
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 2>else on the team that has their priorities straight, which

655
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.039
<v Speaker 2>they all do. It's winning a back to back World

656
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Series championship. You never heard Mookie Beds or Freddie Freeman

657
00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:15.239
<v Speaker 2>talk about winning the most games in the regular season.

658
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I've never heard them talk about it. And when the

659
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers had a chance a couple of years ago to

660
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe make a run for it, they chose to take

661
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the bigger picture in mind to try to do the

662
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.920
<v Speaker 2>best they could in the postseason. So the Dodgers' goal

663
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.320
<v Speaker 2>is not to break the Mariners record. The Dodgers' goal

664
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:34.880
<v Speaker 2>is to become the first team in twenty five years

665
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.719
<v Speaker 2>in baseball to win back to back championships. Now, with

666
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 2>that being said, Brett Boone, who was part and a

667
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.960
<v Speaker 2>big part of the Mariners team in two thousand and

668
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.920
<v Speaker 2>one that won a record setting one hundred and sixteen games,

669
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:51.960
<v Speaker 2>was on with Petro some money, and everybody wants to know,

670
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>do you believe with the way the Dodgers are constructed

671
00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and the way they have really put it all together,

672
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 2>that they have a chance to either tie or break

673
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:07.119
<v Speaker 2>that Marinaers record. Here's what Brett Boone thinks about the

674
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five Dodgers.

675
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.719
<v Speaker 4>I look at this DoD roster and it's just it's

676
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 4>so deep. They've got so much depth compared to everybody else.

677
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.559
<v Speaker 4>If a star goes down, they've got another star to

678
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.800
<v Speaker 4>replace him. I think that's what separates the Dodgers from

679
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:24.119
<v Speaker 4>every other team in baseball, is just their depth. They're

680
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:25.880
<v Speaker 4>as deep as any team I've ever seen, and I

681
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 4>was looking at it. Every year, I'll get phone calls

682
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.639
<v Speaker 4>about that two thousand and one Mariner team. To a

683
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 4>team that gets off to a hot start, Hey do

684
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.079
<v Speaker 4>you think they can break your record? It's kind of

685
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.239
<v Speaker 4>you shrug it off, You roll your eyes and you laugh. No,

686
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:38.760
<v Speaker 4>no one will ever beat one hundred and sixteen. We

687
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:41.639
<v Speaker 4>had a magic carpet ride it. It was something I've

688
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 4>never seen before and I don't think I'll see in

689
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.599
<v Speaker 4>my lifetime until this year when I'm looking at this

690
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 4>roster and I'm going, not only did he have the

691
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 4>stars that I mentioned in the starting rotation with the

692
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Snells and the Yamamoto and the Otani potentially coming back,

693
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:58.280
<v Speaker 4>and the guy pitching a.

694
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.719
<v Speaker 5>Night in La Glass.

695
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:04.920
<v Speaker 4>Not only that, but you've got that bullpen's unbelievable, and

696
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:07.519
<v Speaker 4>you went out and you added a Scott and you

697
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.760
<v Speaker 4>added a Kirby Yates who was arguably the best reliever

698
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 4>in baseball last year. So not only is their lineup stack,

699
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:19.360
<v Speaker 4>the depth behind the secondary players, the starting rotation, but

700
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.840
<v Speaker 4>the bullpen's elite as well. So if any team, I'm

701
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.400
<v Speaker 4>not saying they can do it, you still got to

702
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:27.039
<v Speaker 4>go out and play play one hundred and sixty two games,

703
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.199
<v Speaker 4>and man, it doesn't add up no matter how good

704
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 4>you are to win one hundred and sixteen plus. But

705
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:33.880
<v Speaker 4>if any team could do it, this team, on paper

706
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 4>is the greatest team I've ever seen in my lifetime

707
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.360
<v Speaker 4>to start a season from a talent perspective.

708
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's Brett Boone, who was a member of

709
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 2>the two thousand and one Mariners, one of the big

710
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 2>parts of that Mariners team that won a record setting

711
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:50.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixteen games.

712
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.679
<v Speaker 3>And look, you know, if it happens.

713
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.960
<v Speaker 2>In the process of the Dodgers going out there and

714
00:37:56.199 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 2>staying on track for the postseason, then that that'll work

715
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:03.760
<v Speaker 2>for them. But by no means are the Dodgers going

716
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:07.719
<v Speaker 2>to be chasing the one Mariners. That's just not something

717
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 2>you hear from them. And look, they have a good

718
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:12.480
<v Speaker 2>enough team to do it. But I will say this,

719
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:17.119
<v Speaker 2>they would have a better chance of breaking the Mariners

720
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:21.280
<v Speaker 2>record if they were in the American League. The American

721
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:25.360
<v Speaker 2>League is such a weaker league going back to last

722
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.800
<v Speaker 2>year as well. You know, I'm watching the Angels and

723
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Guardians play right now. If the Dodgers were in the

724
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.519
<v Speaker 2>American League, no doubt in my mind would they win

725
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.360
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixteen games with the talent they have

726
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:40.199
<v Speaker 2>compared to the talent any of those American League teams have.

727
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:43.840
<v Speaker 2>But the National League is really good. You look at

728
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the National League West alone. I mean, the Giants are

729
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:50.079
<v Speaker 2>off to a great start. They won their game tonight

730
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:55.519
<v Speaker 2>as today, with a walkoff hit by Willia Domis the Padres.

731
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Nobody talked about this while the Dodgers were eight to zero,

732
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.639
<v Speaker 2>but there was another team that was undefeated up until

733
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.840
<v Speaker 2>today as well, and that was the Padres, the team

734
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:08.079
<v Speaker 2>that took the Dodgers to the limits in five games

735
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:11.519
<v Speaker 2>of the NLDS. So the Padres now are seven to one,

736
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:14.760
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are eight and one. I just don't see

737
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:23.639
<v Speaker 2>how the Dodgers who they you know, in this division, Padres, Diamondbacks, Giants,

738
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker 2>those are probably three of the four or five best

739
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.440
<v Speaker 2>teams in the National League. You would have to say

740
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.199
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies are up there as well. To me, it's

741
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:40.079
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies, the Padres, the Diamondbacks being the other top

742
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:45.559
<v Speaker 2>teams in the National League. So I just don't I

743
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:49.320
<v Speaker 2>just don't believe that one hundred and sixteen wins is

744
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:53.440
<v Speaker 2>something that's going to happen this year. I could see

745
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers winning one hundred and five games, but one

746
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:59.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixteen's that's really hard to do, especially when

747
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.599
<v Speaker 2>you're in the toughest league of the two eight six

748
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:06.199
<v Speaker 2>six seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's

749
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.960
<v Speaker 2>go out to Los Felis. Calvin, You're on Dodger Talk.

750
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:09.880
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Calvin?

751
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:14.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, David, thanks for taking my call, my pleasure.

752
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm just curious about the reasoning behind playing key

753
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.920
<v Speaker 1>K at first and keeping Munsey at third rather than

754
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:27.320
<v Speaker 1>switching the two, because I know, I know Munsey has

755
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:29.599
<v Speaker 1>put a lot of work in at third and has

756
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:33.320
<v Speaker 1>really improved a lot, but I've always felt, you know,

757
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:35.440
<v Speaker 1>he just looks a little more comfortable at first, and

758
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a position he had a lot of familiarity with,

759
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.119
<v Speaker 1>so and I know Kyk is a great third baseman,

760
00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:44.440
<v Speaker 1>So what's the profits or the thought process behind keeping

761
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Kik at that first number?

762
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:47.239
<v Speaker 12>One?

763
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you, Calvin, but I'll tell you what

764
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are thinking. They have a first basement in

765
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman, who plays one hundred and fifty games plus,

766
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.400
<v Speaker 2>so in the short term, they believe that it's better

767
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:04.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep Max Munsey at third base to continue to

768
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>feel comfortable at that position because that's the position they

769
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:13.159
<v Speaker 2>need him to play, and that's the reason why they

770
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:16.679
<v Speaker 2>don't want to move Monthly off a third base because

771
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:19.480
<v Speaker 2>it's a short term thing, but I agree with you.

772
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:21.800
<v Speaker 2>It would make more sense to have Kik, who's a

773
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 2>better defensive player at a more tougher position at third base,

774
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:29.920
<v Speaker 2>and have Max Munsey play first base, where he played

775
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of prior to Freddie Freeman arriving here.

776
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:35.360
<v Speaker 3>But that's their thinking.

777
00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:38.000
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to move Monthly off at third base

778
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:41.239
<v Speaker 2>because that's he needs to continue to play there and

779
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:44.360
<v Speaker 2>feel comfortable there and confident there, and if they move

780
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.920
<v Speaker 2>him off of there, they feel like that could jeopardize

781
00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:49.880
<v Speaker 2>those plans big picture wise.

782
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, Yeah, that makes sense to me, And I do

783
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:57.400
<v Speaker 1>really like Monthy at third base for the record, you know,

784
00:41:57.599 --> 00:41:59.599
<v Speaker 1>I do think he has improved quite a bit and

785
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable with him there day to day.

786
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:04.199
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I agree with you.

787
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.519
<v Speaker 2>It was a bad game Wednesday night, but who doesn't

788
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:09.239
<v Speaker 2>have bad games. He's put in a lot of work

789
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.920
<v Speaker 2>to be a better defensive third baseman, and I don't

790
00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:17.239
<v Speaker 2>understand where all this Monthy hate is coming from. Yeah,

791
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.159
<v Speaker 2>Nolan Aeronado or we haven't even played ten games and

792
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 2>everybody's going to say that Aeronado's back. I love Nolan,

793
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:29.599
<v Speaker 2>but Nolan had at least two opportunities to find his

794
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.559
<v Speaker 2>way to the Dodgers, and he didn't do it. Now

795
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.280
<v Speaker 2>there might be another opportunity this season. We'll have to

796
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:38.920
<v Speaker 2>wait and see how it plays out. But I love

797
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Nolan Aeronado, but I just feel like the Dodgers are

798
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:46.280
<v Speaker 2>out of the Nolan Aeronado business after he didn't find

799
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:48.800
<v Speaker 2>a way here the previous two chances he had to

800
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:49.320
<v Speaker 2>get here.

801
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I definitely he's not already here, then we don't.

802
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Need him, all right, Calvin, thanks for the phone call.

803
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

804
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:08.239
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. The Dodgers fall for the first time

805
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.360
<v Speaker 2>this season, three to two to the Phillies, and look,

806
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:16.480
<v Speaker 2>eight and one not all bad. It feels like there's

807
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.360
<v Speaker 2>a little sense of disappointment tonight. But look, the Dodgers

808
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:23.960
<v Speaker 2>were going are going to lose their share of games

809
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:25.599
<v Speaker 2>this year. I think you just got to get used

810
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:28.840
<v Speaker 2>to that. Hey, on Monday, the Dodgers are going to

811
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:33.559
<v Speaker 2>the White House, as every World Series team does. It's

812
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:37.679
<v Speaker 2>an invitation that every team UH says yes to, no

813
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:41.840
<v Speaker 2>matter who is in office, and it's not a political thing.

814
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.400
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are are going there and They're going to

815
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:48.960
<v Speaker 2>be celebrated as they should be on Monday at the

816
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:53.760
<v Speaker 2>White House, and Mookie Bets, I don't really want to

817
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:56.679
<v Speaker 2>talk about going or not going, or who's going or

818
00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:59.119
<v Speaker 2>who's not going, because that that's just not what this

819
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:02.239
<v Speaker 2>show is about, right, But I feel like I do

820
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.480
<v Speaker 2>owe it to Mookie Bets to play what or to

821
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:08.840
<v Speaker 2>share with you what he had to say about his

822
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:13.119
<v Speaker 2>decision to join his teammates at the White House on Monday,

823
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:16.280
<v Speaker 2>because he did not go in twenty nineteen after the

824
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox won the eighteen World Series. So I'm not

825
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.400
<v Speaker 2>going to get into it, but I do feel like

826
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I owe it to Mookie Bets because he sat in

827
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers dugout before the game and he wanted to

828
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:32.519
<v Speaker 2>share his thoughts publicly, and I feel like I owe

829
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.199
<v Speaker 2>it to MOOKI to play his reasoning. So Mookie Bets

830
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.920
<v Speaker 2>has the last word on Dodger Talk tonight. Have you

831
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:44.079
<v Speaker 2>made a decision if you're joining your teammates on Monday.

832
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I know you've been asked a lot about it.

833
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I have, I have, and yeah I'm going to go.

834
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:51.719
<v Speaker 14>And it's not a political stance that I'm taking. I

835
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:54.199
<v Speaker 14>know no matter what I say and what I do there,

836
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:56.519
<v Speaker 14>people are going to take it as political, but that's

837
00:44:56.880 --> 00:45:01.559
<v Speaker 14>definitely not what it is. This is about an accomplishment

838
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:06.480
<v Speaker 14>that the Dodgers were able to accomplish last year, and

839
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:09.840
<v Speaker 14>I didn't go in nineteen and I regret that, you know,

840
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:11.679
<v Speaker 14>because I made it about me, and this is not

841
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 14>about me, and I don't want anything to be about me.

842
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.280
<v Speaker 14>I want this to be about the Dodgers because these

843
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:19.480
<v Speaker 14>boys were there for me in the dark times when

844
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.239
<v Speaker 14>all this stuff was coming about coming out in playoffs.

845
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:23.000
<v Speaker 14>I'm over twenty.

846
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I gotta do this, I gotta do that.

847
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:28.480
<v Speaker 14>But these boys rallied around me to help me so

848
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:32.280
<v Speaker 14>much through through playoffs last year, and just as a person,

849
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:34.679
<v Speaker 14>well being as a person, my well being as a person,

850
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:36.599
<v Speaker 14>and so for me to be able to look in

851
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:39.360
<v Speaker 14>the mirror at night and to be happy with the

852
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:41.440
<v Speaker 14>person that I'm looking at, I need to be there

853
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:45.199
<v Speaker 14>with my boys to celebrate this accomplishment that you know,

854
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:48.400
<v Speaker 14>with you know, all the fight, everything we did last year. Man,

855
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:52.000
<v Speaker 14>that was hard, and I wouldn't be able to look

856
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.159
<v Speaker 14>at myself in the mirror. And if I wasn't there

857
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:54.559
<v Speaker 14>with him.

858
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:57.079
<v Speaker 2>You've been asked about it. So, how does it make

859
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:59.760
<v Speaker 2>you feel that everybody wants to know what Mookie Betts

860
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:00.519
<v Speaker 2>is going to do?

861
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:04.199
<v Speaker 3>Was that tough to kind of process and all this too?

862
00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:07.199
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean, you know, kind of is what it is.

863
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.519
<v Speaker 14>I mean, it comes with the territory being black in

864
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:13.719
<v Speaker 14>America and in a situation like this is you know,

865
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.000
<v Speaker 14>it's a tough spot to be in. No matter what

866
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:19.119
<v Speaker 14>I choose, somebody's gonna be pissed, somebody's gonna be have

867
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:21.719
<v Speaker 14>their own opinion. But I mean, again, this is not

868
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:24.199
<v Speaker 14>about me. This is not about politics. This is about

869
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:26.480
<v Speaker 14>the Dodgers. It's about my loyalty to these boys in

870
00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:29.800
<v Speaker 14>this clubhouse, and that's all it is for me.

871
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I loved what Mookie Betts had to say, and

872
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought he said it perfectly, So that's why he

873
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.360
<v Speaker 2>gets the last word. Tonight on Dodger Talk. We'll be

874
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:44.320
<v Speaker 2>back with you tomorrow. It's another different game time as

875
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and Phillies hook up for the second game

876
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 2>of this three game series in Philadelphia. Roki Sazaki will

877
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.280
<v Speaker 2>be on the mound and we'll see how it goes.

878
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:58.039
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if he has fixed anything to try to

879
00:46:58.119 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 2>throw more strikes.

880
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.119
<v Speaker 3>That's what it comes down to for him. He's got

881
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:02.199
<v Speaker 3>to throw more strikes.

882
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:04.159
<v Speaker 2>He's got to be able to stay in the game

883
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:07.599
<v Speaker 2>longer and not compromise the Dodger bullpen. He's going up

884
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.719
<v Speaker 2>against one of the more solid starters in baseball, Aaron

885
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Nola Morongo Casino. Dodgers on Deck begins at noon tomorrow

886
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:18.119
<v Speaker 2>and we will have keiy A Hernandez as our special

887
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:21.320
<v Speaker 2>guest and first pitch is at one oh five with

888
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday and Tim Neverett from Philadelphia. That'll do it

889
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:27.880
<v Speaker 2>for us tonight on Dodger Talk. Thanks to everybody that

890
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:30.440
<v Speaker 2>called in. In case you missed any of the show,

891
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:33.760
<v Speaker 2>you can find it on the iHeartRadio app. That's also

892
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:37.079
<v Speaker 2>where you can find our pregame conversation with Blake Trinin.

893
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.199
<v Speaker 3>We had some fun with Blake and he explained the

894
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:42.559
<v Speaker 3>sweeper and explain.

895
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:46.119
<v Speaker 2>How he continues to pitch so well even getting closer

896
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to age thirty six.

897
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:50.519
<v Speaker 3>That was a little uncomfortable to ask him, but we

898
00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:51.280
